Day 15 of your road trip in Croatia is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Pula before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Montezaro Park, a stunning park before you head out.
As your final day in Croatia unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Pula's best shopping area, Kandlerova Street. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Croatia. Browse through boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces to take home. When you need a break, visit a cafe and relax with a cup of coffee or tea.
Before you conclude your road trip in Croatia, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Pula.
If you're in the mood for something new, try Fast Food Reka, another premier location with a delectable menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Pula. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Croatia!
